Abreva Reviews

I get cold sores often and they are absolutely obnoxious! Abreva gets rid of the pain involved with getting cold sores and really does help them to heal faster. I just wish it worked over night!

I've been suffering cold sores all my life, so I know the early signs and my triggers (PMS, sun and dry or cold weather are the worst). Abreva helps only at the very early stages of the cold sore's development. I have learned that when my lips get so dry and chapped that the edges get red, Abreva will prevent a cold sore from developing. On the other hand, once a cold sore is definitely on its way...read more, Abreva doesn't do much to cut healing time. If anything, it seems to prolong it. I have learned not to bother with Abreva once I have developed a red spot--I just wait for the blisters to develop, pop them with a clean needle, dry the area with an astringent, and keep the lips moisturized to prevent a crust from forming. So, Abreva is useful to keep around for those near misses, but not for actual outbreaks.— 5 years, 6 months ago

The secret is to get this stuff when you first feel that tingle of a cold sore coming on. Even if you don't get it right then, the Abreve does speed the healing. I have never had a cold sore speed away so quickly.
